- Such recombinant human antibodies have variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In certain embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies are subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, in vivo somatic mutagenesis) and thus the amino acid sequences of the V H and V L regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and related to human germline V H and V L sequences, may not naturally exist within the human antibody germline repertoire in vivo.

- These forms have been extremely difficult to separate, even after affinity purification.
- the frequency of appearance of the second form in various intact IgG isotypes is due to, but not limited to, structural differences associated with the hinge region isotype of the antibody.
- a single amino acid substitution in the hinge region of the human IgG4 hinge can significantly reduce the appearance of the second form (Angal et al.

- the antibodies of the present disclosure may contain any combination of two or more germline mutations within the framework and/or CDR regions, e.g., wherein certain individual residues are mutated to the corresponding residue of a particular germline sequence while certain other residues that differ from the original germline sequence are maintained or are mutated to the corresponding residue of a different germline sequence.
- antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that contain one or more germline mutations can be easily tested for one or more desired property such as, improved binding specificity, increased binding affinity, improved or enhanced antagonistic or agonistic biological properties (as the case may be), reduced immunogenicity, etc.

Abstract
Description
- Provided herein are novel tubulysins and protein conjugates thereof, and methods for treating a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions including administering the tubulysins, and protein conjugates thereof.
- While antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) find increasing application in cancer treatment regimens, de novo or treatment-emergent resistance mechanisms could impair clinical benefit. Two resistance mechanisms that emerge under continuous ADC exposure in vitro include upregulation of transporters that confer multidrug resistance (MDR) and loss of cognate antigen expression. New technologies that circumvent these resistance mechanisms may serve to extend the utility of next generation ADCs.
- The tubulysins, first isolated from myxobacterial culture broth, are a group of extremely potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors that rapidly disintegrate the cytoskeleton of dividing cells and induce apoptosis. Tubulysins are comprised of N-methyl-D-pipecolinic acid (Mep), L-isoleucine (Ile), and tubuvaline (Tuv), which contains an unusual N,O-acetal and a secondary alcohol or acetoxy group. Tubulysins A, B, C, G, and I contain the C-terminal tubutyrosine (Tut) γ-amino acid, while D, E, F, and H instead have tubuphenylalanine (Tup) at this position (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 43, 4888-4892).
- Tubulysins have emerged as promising anticancer leads due to their powerful activity in drug-resistant cells through a validated mechanism of action. The average cell growth inhibitory activity outperforms that of well-known epothilones, vinblastines, and taxols by 10-fold to more than 1000-fold, including activity against multi-drug resistant carcinoma (Biochem. J 2006, 396, 235-242; Nat. Prod. Rep. 2015, 32, 654-662). Tubulysins have extremely potent antiproliferative activity against cancer cells, including multidrug resistant KB-V1 cervix carcinoma cells. (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2004, 43, 4888-4892; and Biochemical Journal 2006, 396, 235-242).

In certain embodiments, the carboxylic acid is treated with a reagent. The reagent activates the carboxylic acid by deprotonating the carboxylic acid and then forming a product complex with the deprotonated carboxylic acid as a result of nucleophilic attack by the deprotonated carboxylic acid onto the protonated reagent. The activated carboxylic esters for certain carboxylic acids are subsequently more susceptible to nucleophilic attack by an amine than the carboxylic acid is before it is activated. This results in amide bond formation. As such, the carboxylic acid is described as activated. Exemplary reagents include DCC and DIC.

- wherein subscript q is an integer from 0 to 4 and in which the positions of substituent R1 are described generically, i.e., not directly attached to any vertex of the bond line structure, i.e., specific ring carbon atom, includes the following, non-limiting examples of groups in which the substituent R1 is bonded to a specific ring carbon atom:
- As used herein, the phrase “reactive linker,” or the abbreviation “RL” refers to a monovalent group that includes a reactive group (“RG”) and spacer group (“SP”), depicted, for example, as
- wherein RG is the reactive group and SP is the spacer group. As described herein, a reactive linker may include more than one reactive group and more than one spacer group. The spacer group is any divalent moiety that bridges the reactive group to another group, such as a payload. The reactive linkers (RLs), together with the payloads to which they are bonded, provide intermediates (“linker-payloads” or LPs) useful as synthetic precursors for the preparation of the antibody conjugates described herein. The reactive linker includes a reactive group, which is a functional group or moiety that is capable of reacting with a reactive portion of another group, for instance, an antibody, modified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, or an enhancement group. The moiety resulting from the reaction of the reactive group with the antibody, modified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, together with the linking group, include the “binding agent linker” (“BL”) portion of the conjugate, described herein. In certain embodiments, the “reactive group” is a functional group or moiety (e.g., maleimide or N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester) that reacts with a cysteine or lysine residue of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. In certain embodiments, the “reactive group” is a functional group or moiety that is capable of undergoing a click chemistry reaction (see, e.g., click chemistry, Huisgen Proc. Chem. Soc. 1961, Wang et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, and Agard et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004). In some embodiments of said click chemistry reaction, the reactive group is an alkyne that is capable of undergoing a 1,3-cycloaddition reaction with an azide. Such suitable reactive groups include, but are not limited to, strained alkynes, e.g., those suitable for strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloadditions (SPAAC), cycloalkynes, e.g., cyclooctynes, benzannulated alkynes, and alkynes capable of undergoing 1,3-cycloaddition reactions with alkynes in the absence of copper catalysts. Suitable alkynes also include, but are not limited to, dibenzoazacyclooctyne or
- dibenzocyclooctyne or
- biarylazacyclooctynone or
- difluorinated cyclooctyne or
- substituted, e.g., fluorinated alkynes, aza-cycloalkynes, bicycle[6.1.0]nonyne or
- where R is alkyl, alkoxy, or acyl), and derivatives thereof. Particularly useful alkynes include
- Linker-payloads including such reactive groups are useful for conjugating antibodies that have been functionalized with azido groups. Such functionalized antibodies include antibodies functionalized with azido-polyethylene glycol groups. In certain embodiments, such a functionalized antibody is derived by treating an antibody having at least one glutamine residue, e.g., heavy chain Gln295, with a compound bearing an amino agroup and an azide group, in the presence of the enzyme transglutaminase.
- In some examples, the reactive group is an alkyne, e.g.,
- which can react via click chemistry with an azide, e.g.,
- to form a click chemistry product, e.g.,
- In some examples, the group reacts with an azide on a modified antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof. In some examples, the reactive group is an alkyne, e.g.,
- which can react via click chemistry with an azide, e.g.,
- to form a click chemistry product, e.g.,
- In some examples, the reactive group is an alkyne, e.g.,
- which can react via click chemistry with an azide, e.g.,
- to form a click chemistry product, e.g.,
- In some examples, the reactive group is a functional group, e.g.,
- which reacts with a cysteine residue on an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to form a carbon-sulfur bond thereto, e.g.,
- wherein Ab refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof and S refers to the S atom on a cysteine residue through which the functional group bonds to the Ab. In some examples, the reactive group is a functional group, e.g.,
- which reacts with a lysine residue on an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to form an amide bond thereto, e.g.,
- wherein Ab refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof and NH refers to the NH atom on a lysine side chain residue through which the functional group bonds to the Ab.
- As used herein, the phrase “biodegradable moiety” refers to a moiety that degrades in vivo to non-toxic, biocompatible components which can be cleared from the body by ordinary biological processes. In some embodiments, a biodegradable moiety completely or substantially degrades in vivo over the course of about 90 days or less, about 60 days or less, or about 30 days or less, where the extent of degradation is based on percent mass loss of the biodegradable moiety, and wherein complete degradation corresponds to 100% mass loss. Exemplary biodegradable moieties include, without limitation, aliphatic polyesters such as poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and its copolymers with glycolic acid (i.e., poly(D,L-lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA) (Vert M, Schwach G, Engel R and Coudane J (1998) J Control Release 53(1-3):85-92; Jain R A (2000) Biomaterials 21(23):2475-2490; Uhrich K E, Cannizzaro S M, Langer R S and Shakesheff K M (1999) Chemical Reviews 99(11): 3181-3198; and Park T G (1995) Biomaterials 16(15):1123-1130, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety).
- As used herein, the phrase “binding agent linker,” or “BL” refers to any divalent, trivalent, or multi-valent group or moiety that links, connects, or bonds a binding agent (e.g., an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof) with a payload compound set forth herein (e.g., tubulysins) and, optionally, with one or more side chain compounds. Generally, suitable binding agent linkers for the antibody conjugates described herein are those that are sufficiently stable to exploit the circulating half-life of the antibody conjugates and, at the same time, capable of releasing its payload after antigen-mediated internalization of the conjugate. Linkers can be cleavable or non-cleavable. Cleavable linkers are linkers that are cleaved by intracellular metabolism following internalization, e.g., cleavage via hydrolysis, reduction, or enzymatic reaction. Non-cleavable linkers are linkers that release an attached payload via lysosomal degradation of the antibody following internalization. Suitable linkers include, but are not limited to, acid-labile linkers, hydrolytically-labile linkers, enzymatically cleavable linkers, reduction labile linkers, self-immolative linkers, and non-cleavable linkers. Suitable linkers also include, but are not limited to, those that are or comprise peptides, glucuronides, succinimide-thioethers, polyethylene glycol (PEG) units, hydrazones, mal-caproyl units, dipeptide units, valine-citruline units, and para-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PABC), para-aminobenzyl (PAB) units. In some embodiments, the binding agent linker (BL) includes a moiety that is formed by the reaction of the reactive group (RG) of a reactive linker (RL) and reactive portion of the binding agent, e.g., antibody, modified antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof.
- In some examples, the BL includes the following moiety:
- As applied to polypeptides, the phrase “substantial similarity” or “substantially similar” means that two peptide sequences, when optimally aligned, such as by the programs GAP or BESTFIT using default gap weights, share at least 95% sequence identity, even more preferably at least 98% or 99% sequence identity. Sequence similarity may also be determined using the BLAST algorithm, described in Altschul et al. J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-10 (using the published default settings), or available at blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi. Preferably, residue positions which are not identical differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which an amino acid residue is substituted by another amino acid residue having a side chain (R group) with similar chemical properties (e.g., charge or hydrophobicity). In general, a conservative amino acid substitution will not substantially change the functional properties of a protein. In cases where two or more amino acid sequences differ from each other by conservative substitutions, the percent sequence identity or degree of similarity may be adjusted upwards to correct for the conservative nature of the substitution. Methods for making this adjustment are well-known to those of skill in the art. See, e.g., Pearson (1994) Methods Mol. Biol. 24: 307-331. Examples of groups of amino acids that have side chains with similar chemical properties include (1) aliphatic side chains: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; (2) aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains: serine and threonine; (3) amide-containing side chains: asparagine and glutamine; (4) aromatic side chains: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; (5) basic side chains: lysine, arginine, and histidine; (6) acidic side chains: aspartate and glutamate; and (7) sulfur-containing side chains are cysteine and methionine. Preferred conservative amino acids substitution groups are: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, glutamate-aspartate, and asparagine-glutamine. Alternatively, a conservative replacement is any change having a positive value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix disclosed in Gonnet et al. (1992) Science 256: 1443-1445. A “moderately conservative” replacement is any change having a nonnegative value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix.

- Suitable binding agents for any of the conjugates provided in the instant disclosure include, but are not limited to, antibodies, lymphokines (e.g., IL-2 or IL-3), hormones (e.g., insulin and glucocorticoids), growth factors (e.g., EGF, transferrin, and fibronectin type III), viral receptors, interleukins, or any other cell binding or peptide binding molecules or substances. Binding agents also include, but are not limited to, ankyrin repeat proteins and interferons.
- In some embodiments, the binding agent is an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. The antibody can be in any form known to those of skill in the art. The term “antibody,” as used herein, refers to any antigen-binding molecule or molecular complex comprising at least one complementarity determining region (CDR) that specifically binds to or interacts with a particular antigen. The term “antibody” includes immunoglobulin molecules comprising four polypeptide chains, two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds, as well as multimers thereof (e.g., IgM). Each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as HCVR or VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three domains,
C H1,C H2 andC H3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as LCVR or VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region comprises one domain (CL1). The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. In different embodiments of disclosed herein, the FRs of the antibodies (or antigen-binding portion thereof) suitable for the compounds herein may be identical to the human germline sequences, or may be naturally or artificially modified. An amino acid consensus sequence may be defined based on a side-by-side analysis of two or more CDRs. The term “antibody,” as used herein, also includes antigen-binding fragments of full antibody molecules. The terms “antigen-binding portion” of an antibody, “antigen-binding fragment” of an antibody, and the like, as used herein, include any naturally occurring, enzymatically obtainable, synthetic, or genetically engineered polypeptide or glycoprotein that specifically binds an antigen to form a complex. Antigen-binding fragments of an antibody may be derived, e.g., from full antibody molecules using any suitable, standard technique(s) such as proteolytic digestion or recombinant genetic engineering technique(s) involving the manipulation and expression of DNA encoding antibody variable and optionally constant domains. Such DNA is known and/or is readily available from, e.g., commercial sources, DNA libraries (including, e.g., phage-antibody libraries), or can be synthesized. The DNA may be sequenced and manipulated chemically or by using molecular biology techniques, for example, to arrange one or more variable and/or constant domains into a suitable configuration, or to introduce codons, create cysteine residues, modify, add, or delete amino acids, etc. Non-limiting examples of antigen-binding fragments include: (i) Fab fragments; (ii) F(ab′)2 fragments; (iii) Fd fragments; (iv) Fv fragments; (v) single-chain Fv (scFv) molecules; (vi) dAb fragments; and (vii) minimal recognition units consisting of the amino acid residues that mimic the hypervariable region of an antibody (e.g., an isolated CDR such as a CDR3 peptide), or a constrained FR3-CDR3-FR4 peptide. Other engineered molecules, such as domain-specific antibodies, single domain antibodies, domain-deleted antibodies, chimeric antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, minibodies, nanobodies (e.g., monovalent nanobodies, bivalent nanobodies, etc.), small modular immunopharmaceuticals (SMIPs), and shark variable IgNAR domains, are also encompassed within the expression “antigen-binding fragment,” as used herein. An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody will typically comprise at least one variable domain. The variable domain may be of any size or amino acid composition and will generally comprise at least one CDR which is adjacent to or in frame with one or more framework sequences. In antigen-binding fragments having a VH domain associated with a VL domain, the VH and VL domains may be situated relative to one another in any suitable arrangement. For example, the variable region may be dimeric and contain VH—VH, VH-VL, or VL-VL dimers. Alternatively, the antigen-binding fragment of an antibody may contain a monomeric VH or VL domain. In certain embodiments, an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody may contain at least one variable domain covalently linked to at least one constant domain. Non-limiting, exemplary configurations of variable and constant domains that may be found within an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody of the present invention include: (i) VH-CH1; (ii) VH-C H2; (iii) VH-CH3; (iv) VH—CHI—C H2; (v) VH-CH1—CH2—CH3; (vi) VH-CH2-C H3; (vii) VH-CL; (viii) VL-CH1; (ix) VL-C H2; (x) VL-C H3; (xi) VL-CH1—CH2; (xii) VL-CH1—CH2—CH3; (xiii) VL-CH2-C H3; and (xiv) VL-CL. In any configuration of variable and constant domains, including any of the exemplary configurations listed above, the variable and constant domains may be either directly linked to one another or may be linked by a full or partial hinge or linker region. A hinge region may consist of at least 2 (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, 60, or more) amino acids which result in a flexible or semi-flexible linkage between adjacent variable and/or constant domains in a single polypeptide molecule. As with full antibody molecules, antigen-binding fragments may be monospecific or multispecific (e.g., bispecific). A multispecific antigen-binding fragment of an antibody will typically comprise at least two different variable domains, wherein each variable domain is capable of specifically binding to a separate antigen or to a different epitope on the same antigen. Any multispecific antibody format, including the exemplary bispecific antibody formats disclosed herein, may be adapted for use in the context of an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody of the present disclosure using routine techniques available in the art. In certain embodiments described herein, antibodies described herein are human antibodies. The term “human antibody,” as used herein, is intended to include antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the invention may include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo), for example, in the CDRs and in particular CDR3. However, the term “human antibody,” as used herein, is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences. The term “human antibody” does not include naturally occurring molecules that normally exist without modification or human intervention/manipulation, in a naturally occurring, unmodified living organism. The antibodies disclosed herein may, in some embodiments, be recombinant human antibodies. The term “recombinant human antibody,” as used herein, is intended to include all human antibodies that are prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means, such as antibodies expressed using a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell (described further below), antibodies isolated from a recombinant, combinatorial human antibody library (described further below), antibodies isolated from an animal (e.g., a mouse) that is transgenic for human immunoglobulin genes (see e.g., Taylor et al. (1992) Nucl. Acids Res. 20:6287-6295) or antibodies prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by any other means that involves splicing of human immunoglobulin gene sequences to other DNA sequences. Such recombinant human antibodies have variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In certain embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies are subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, in vivo somatic mutagenesis) and thus the amino acid sequences of the VH and VL regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and related to human germline VH and VL sequences, may not naturally exist within the human antibody germline repertoire in vivo. Human antibodies can exist in two forms that are associated with hinge heterogeneity. In one form, an immunoglobulin molecule comprises a stable four chain construct of approximately 150-160 kDa in which the dimers are held together by an interchain heavy chain disulfide bond. In a second form, the dimers are not linked via inter-chain disulfide bonds and a molecule of about 75-80 kDa is formed composed of a covalently coupled light and heavy chain (half-antibody). These forms have been extremely difficult to separate, even after affinity purification. The frequency of appearance of the second form in various intact IgG isotypes is due to, but not limited to, structural differences associated with the hinge region isotype of the antibody. A single amino acid substitution in the hinge region of the human IgG4 hinge can significantly reduce the appearance of the second form (Angal et al. (1993) Molecular Immunology 30:105) to levels typically observed using a human IgG1 hinge. The instant disclosure encompasses antibodies having one or more mutations in the hinge,C H2, orC H3 region which may be desirable, for example, in production, to improve the yield of the desired antibody form. The antibodies described herein may be isolated antibodies. An “isolated antibody,” as used herein, refers to an antibody that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from at least one component of its natural environment. For example, an antibody that has been separated or removed from at least one component of an organism, or from a tissue or cell in which the antibody naturally exists or is naturally produced, is an “isolated antibody” for purposes of the instant disclosure. An isolated antibody also includes an antibody in situ within a recombinant cell. Isolated antibodies are antibodies that have been subjected to at least one purification or isolation step. According to certain embodiments, an isolated antibody may be substantially free of other cellular material and/or chemicals. The antibodies used herein can comprise one or more amino acid substitutions, insertions, and/or deletions in the framework and/or CDR regions of the heavy and light chain variable domains as compared to the corresponding germline sequences from which the antibodies were derived. Such mutations can be readily ascertained by comparing the amino acid sequences disclosed herein to germline sequences available from, for example, public antibody sequence databases. This disclosure includes antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, which are derived from any of the amino acid sequences disclosed herein, wherein one or more amino acids within one or more framework and/or CDR regions are mutated to the corresponding residue(s) of the germline sequence from which the antibody was derived, or to the corresponding residue(s) of another human germline sequence, or to a conservative amino acid substitution of the corresponding germline residue(s) (such sequence changes are referred to herein collectively as “germline mutations”). A person of ordinary skill in the art, starting with the heavy and light chain variable region sequences disclosed herein, can easily produce numerous antibodies and antigen-binding fragments which comprise one or more individual germline mutations or combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, all of the framework and/or CDR residues within the VH and/or VL domains are mutated back to the residues found in the original germline sequence from which the antibody was derived. In other embodiments, only certain residues are mutated back to the original germline sequence, e.g., only the mutated residues found within the first 8 amino acids of FR1 or within the last 8 amino acids of FR4, or only the mutated residues found within CDR1, CDR2, or CDR3. In other embodiments, one or more of the framework and/or CDR residue(s) are mutated to the corresponding residue(s) of a different germline sequence (i.e., a germline sequence that is different from the germline sequence from which the antibody was originally derived). Furthermore, the antibodies of the present disclosure may contain any combination of two or more germline mutations within the framework and/or CDR regions, e.g., wherein certain individual residues are mutated to the corresponding residue of a particular germline sequence while certain other residues that differ from the original germline sequence are maintained or are mutated to the corresponding residue of a different germline sequence. Once obtained, antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that contain one or more germline mutations can be easily tested for one or more desired property such as, improved binding specificity, increased binding affinity, improved or enhanced antagonistic or agonistic biological properties (as the case may be), reduced immunogenicity, etc. Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments obtained in this general manner are encompassed within the present disclosure. Antibodies useful for the compounds herein also include antibodies comprising variants of any of the HCVR, LCVR, and/or CDR amino acid sequences disclosed herein having one or more conservative substitutions. The term “epitope” refers to an antigenic determinant that interacts with a specific antigen-binding site in the variable region of an antibody molecule known as a paratope. A single antigen may have more than one epitope. Thus, different antibodies may bind to different areas on an antigen and may have different biological effects. Epitopes may be either conformational or linear. A conformational epitope is produced by spatially juxtaposed amino acids from different segments of the linear polypeptide chain. A linear epitope is one produced by adjacent amino acid residues in a polypeptide chain. In certain circumstances, an epitope may include moieties of saccharides, phosphoryl groups, or sulfonyl groups on the antigen. - In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a light chain. In certain embodiments, the light chain is a kappa light chain. In certain embodiments, the light chain is a lambda light chain. In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy chain. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgA. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgD. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgE. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgG.

In some embodiments, the antibody is a bispecific antibody including a first antigen-binding domain (also referred to herein as “D1”), and a second antigen-binding domain (also referred to herein as “D2”).
- As used herein, the expression “antigen-binding domain” means any peptide, polypeptide, nucleic acid molecule, scaffold-type molecule, peptide display molecule, or polypeptide-containing construct that is capable of specifically binding a particular antigen of interest (e.g., PRLR or STEAP2). The term “specifically binds” or the like, as used herein, means that the antigen-binding domain forms a complex with a particular antigen characterized by a dissociation constant (KD) of 1 μM or less, and does not bind other unrelated antigens under ordinary test conditions. “Unrelated antigens” are proteins, peptides, or polypeptides that have less than 95% amino acid identity to one another.
- Exemplary categories of antigen-binding domains that can be used in the context of the present disclosure include antibodies, antigen-binding portions of antibodies, peptides that specifically interact with a particular antigen (e.g., peptibodies), receptor molecules that specifically interact with a particular antigen, proteins comprising a ligand-binding portion of a receptor that specifically binds a particular antigen, antigen-binding scaffolds (e.g., DARPins, HEAT repeat proteins, ARM repeat proteins, tetratricopeptide repeat proteins, and other scaffolds based on naturally occurring repeat proteins, etc., [see, e.g., Boersma and Pluckthun, 2011, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 22:849-857, and references cited therein]), and aptamers or portions thereof.

- In certain embodiments, the linker L portion of the conjugates described herein is a moiety, for instance a divalent moiety, that covalently links a binding agent to a payload compound described herein. In other instances, the linker L is a trivalent or multivalent moiety that covalently links a binding agent to a payload compound described herein. Suitable linkers may be found, for example, in Antibody-Drug Conjugates and Immunotoxins; Phillips, G. L., Ed.; Springer Verlag: New York, 2013; Antibody-Drug Conjugates; Ducry, L., Ed.; Humana Press, 2013; Antibody-Drug Conjugates; Wang, J., Shen, W.-C., and Zaro, J. L., Eds.; Springer International Publishing, 2015, the contents of each incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

- The compounds provided herein can be prepared, isolated, or obtained by any method apparent to those of skill in the art. Exemplary methods of preparation are described in detail in the Examples below. In certain embodiments, compounds provided herein can generally be prepared according to Schemes A-D:
- In the above Exemplary Preparation Schemes, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 are described in the context of Formula I. In Scheme A, amino acids were homologated, and then gem-dimethylated at the a-carbon. N-sulfonylcarboxamides can be prepared using H2NSO2R60 under standard conditions, as would be appreciated by a person of skill in the art. In Scheme B, cysteine participated in a cyclization en route to thiazole formation, followed by aldol condensation and Michael addition of Boc-protected N-alkoxyamines. The Boc-protected N-alkoxyamine was then reduced to the Boc-protected amine derivatives. In Scheme C, Boc-protected N-alkoxyamines were deprotected and acylated. Staudinger reduction of the azides were followed by amidations. Deprotection of the alcohols, saponification of the esters, and acylation of the alcohols provided penultimate intermediates. Activation of carboxylates followed by amidations provided compounds of Formula I. Reactions in Scheme D were similar, wherein reductive aminations were performed early in the synthesis followed by similar steps in Scheme C, which also provided compounds of Formula I. Exemplary methods of preparation are described in detail in the Examples below.
- The linker-payloads described herein can generally be synthesized by a series of coupling steps as shown in Schemes E-H, J, K, M, and N:
- In the above Exemplary Preparation Schemes, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 are described in the context of Formula I. In Scheme E, a payload is treated with a benzyl halide to form a quaternary ammonium linker-payload. In Schemes F, G, J, M, and N a payload is treated with a carbonate to form linker-payloads. In Scheme H, a payload is treated with a benzyl azide to form a triazolyl linker-payload. In Scheme K, a payload is esterified with a benzyl alcohol to form a linker-payload.
- In certain embodiments, provided herein are compounds (e.g., linker-payloads) selected from the group consisting of:
- In certain embodiments within this paragraph, all diasteriomers are contemplated. For example, in one embodiment, the stereochemistry within
- is undefined or racemic. By way of further example, in one embodiment, the stereochemistry within
- is (R)-. By way of further example, in one embodiment, the stereochemistry within
- (S)-. By way of further example, in one embodiment, the stereochemistry within
- is (R)- in excess of (S)-. By way of further example, in one embodiment, the stereochemistry within
- is (S)- in excess of (R)-.
- The conjugates described herein can be synthesized by coupling the linker-payloads described herein with a binding agent, for example, an antibody under standard conjugation conditions (see, e.g., Doronina et al. Nature Biotechnology 2003, 21, 778, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). When the binding agent is an antibody, the antibody may be coupled to a linker-payload via one or more cysteine or lysine residues of the antibody. Linker-payloads can be coupled to cysteine residues, for example, by subjecting the antibody to a reducing agent, for example, dithiotheritol, to cleave the disulfide bonds of the antibody, purifying the reduced antibody, for example, by gel filtration, and subsequently treating the antibody with a linker-payload containing a suitable reactive moiety, for example, a maleimido group. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to water, DMA, DMF, and DMSO. Linker-payloads containing a reactive group, for example, an activated ester or acid halide group, can be coupled to lysine residues of the antibody. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, DMA, DMF, and DMSO. Conjugates can be purified using known protein techniques, including, for example, size exclusion chromatography, dialysis, and ultrafiltration/diafiltration.
- Binding agents, for example antibodies, can also be conjugated via click chemistry reactions. In some embodiments of said click chemistry reactions, the linker-payload includes a reactive group, for example an alkyne, that is capable of undergoing a regioisomeric 1,3-cycloaddition reaction with an azide. Such suitable reactive groups are described above. The antibody includes one or more azide groups. Such antibodies include antibodies functionalized with, for example, azido-polyethylene glycol groups. In certain embodiments, such functionalized antibody is derived by treating an antibody having at least one glutamine residue, for example, heavy chain Gln295, with a primary amine compound in the presence of the enzyme transglutaminase. In certain embodiments, such functionalized antibody is derived by treating an antibody having at least one glutamine residue, for example, heavy chain Gln297, with a primary amine compound in the presence of the enzyme transglutaminase. Such antibodies include Asn297Gln (N297Q) mutants. In certain embodiments, such functionalized antibody is derived by treating an antibody having at least two glutamine residues, for example, heavy chain Gln295 and heavy chain Gln297, with a primary amine compound in the presence of the enzyme transglutaminase. Such antibodies include Asn297Gln (N297Q) mutants. In certain embodiments, the antibody has two heavy chains as described in this paragraph for a total of two or a total of four glutamine residues.
- In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises two glutamine residues, one in each heavy chain. In particular embodiments, the antibody comprises a Q295 residue in each heavy chain. In further embodiments, the antibody comprises one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or more glutamine residues. These glutamine residues can be in heavy chains, light chains, or in both heavy chains and light chains. These glutamine residues can be wild-type residues, or engineered residues. The antibodies can be prepared according to standard techniques.
- Those of skill will recognize that antibodies are often glycosylated at residue N297, near residue Q295 in a heavy chain sequence. Glycosylation at residue N297 can interfere with a transglutaminase at residue Q295 (Dennler et al., supra). Accordingly, in advantageous embodiments, the antibody is not glycosylated. In certain embodiments, the antibody is deglycoslated or aglycosylated. In particular embodiments, an antibody heavy chain has an N297 mutation. Alternatively stated, the antibody is mutated to no longer have an asparagine residue at position 297. In particular embodiments, an antibody heavy chain has an N297Q mutation. Such an antibody can be prepared by site-directed mutagenesis to remove or disable a glycosylation sequence or by site-directed mutagenesis to insert a glutamine residue at a site apart from any interfering glycosylation site or any other interfering structure. Such an antibody also can be isolated from natural or artificial sources.
- The antibody without interfering glycosylation is then reacted or treated with a primary amine compound. In certain embodiments, an aglycosylated antibody is reacted or treated with a primary amine compound to produce a glutaminyl-modified antibody. In certain embodiments, a deglycosylated antibody is reacted or treated with a primary amine compound to produce a glutaminyl-modified antibody.
- The primary amine can be any primary amine that is capable of forming a covalent bond with a glutamine residue in the presence of a transglutaminase. Useful primary amines are described herein. The transglutaminase can be any transglutaminase deemed suitable by those of skill in the art. In certain embodiments, the transglutaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of an isopeptide bond between a free amine group on the primary amine compound and the acyl group on the side chain of a glutamine residue. Transglutaminase is also known as protein-glutamine-y-glutamyltransferase. In particular embodiments, the transglutaminase is classified as EC 2.3.2.13. The transglutaminase can be from any source deemed suitable. In certain embodiments, the transglutaminase is microbial. Useful transglutaminases have been isolated from Streptomyces mobaraense, Streptomyces cinnamoneum, Streptomyces griseo-carneum, Streptomyces lavendulae, and Bacillus subtilis. Non-microbial transglutaminases, including mammalian transglutaminases, can also be used. In certain embodiments, the transglutaminase can be produced by any technique or obtained from any source deemed suitable by the practitioner of skill. In particular embodiments, the transglutaminase is obtained from a commercial source.
- In particular embodiments, the primary amine compound comprises a reactive group capable of further reaction after transglutamination. In these embodiments, the glutaminyl-modified antibody can be reacted or treated with a reactive payload compound or a reactive linker-payload compound to form an antibody-payload conjugate or an antibody-linker-payload conjugate. In certain embodiments, the primary amine compound comprises an azide.
- In certain embodiments, the glutaminyl-modified antibody is reacted or treated with a reactive linker-payload to form an antibody-linker-payload conjugate. The reaction can proceed under conditions deemed suitable by those of skill in the art. In certain embodiments, the glutaminyl-modified antibody is contacted with the reactive linker-payload compound under conditions suitable for forming a bond between the glutaminyl-modified antibody and the linker-payload compound. Suitable reaction conditions are well known to those in the art. Exemplary reactions are provided in the Examples below.

In certain embodiments, two or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, or 5) doses are administered at the beginning of the treatment regimen as “loading doses” followed by subsequent doses that are administered on a less frequent basis (e.g., “maintenance doses”).
- In certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, each secondary and/or tertiary dose is administered 1 to 26 (e.g., 1, 1½, 2, 2½, 3, 3½, 4, 4½, 5, 5½, 6, 6½, 7, 7½, 8, 8½, 9, 9½, 10, 10½, 11, 11½, 12, 12½, 13, 13½, 14, 14½, 15, 15½, 16, 16½, 17, 17½, 18, 18½, 19, 19½, 20, 20½, 21, 21½, 22, 22½, 23, 23½, 24, 24½, 25, 25½, 26, 26½, or more) weeks after the immediately preceding dose. The phrase “the immediately preceding dose,” as used herein, means, in a sequence of multiple administrations, the dose the compound which is administered to a patient prior to the administration of the very next dose in the sequence with no intervening doses.
- The methods according to this embodiment of the disclosure may comprise administering to a patient any number of secondary and/or tertiary doses of the compound. For example, in certain embodiments, only a single secondary dose is administered to the patient. In other embodiments, two or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more) secondary doses are administered to the patient. Likewise, in certain embodiments, only a single tertiary dose is administered to the patient. In other embodiments, two or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more) tertiary doses are administered to the patient. The administration regimen may be carried out indefinitely over the lifetime of a particular subject, or until such treatment is no longer therapeutically needed or advantageous.
- In embodiments involving multiple secondary doses, each secondary dose may be administered at the same frequency as the other secondary doses. For example, each secondary dose may be administered to the patient 1 to 2 weeks or 1 to 2 months after the immediately preceding dose. Similarly, in embodiments involving multiple tertiary doses, each tertiary dose may be administered at the same frequency as the other tertiary doses. For example, each tertiary dose may be administered to the patient 2 to 12 weeks after the immediately preceding dose. In certain embodiments of the disclosure, the frequency at which the secondary and/or tertiary doses are administered to a patient can vary over the course of the treatment regimen. The frequency of administration may also be adjusted during the course of treatment by a physician depending on the needs of the individual patient following clinical examination.
- The present disclosure includes administration regimens in which 2 to 6 loading doses are administered to a patient at a first frequency (e.g., once a week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, once a month, once every two months, etc.), followed by administration of two or more maintenance doses to the patient on a less frequent basis. For example, according to this embodiment of the disclosure, if the loading doses are administered at a frequency of once a month, then the maintenance doses may be administered to the patient once every six weeks, once every two months, once every three months, etc.

FIG. 2 . Thiazole 11 was obtained from cysteine ethyl ester 8 via cyclization with 2-oxo-propanal 9, followed by MnO2 oxidation. The α,β-unsaturated ketone 13 was obtained from an aldol condensation of 11 with 2-methyl propanal 12. The Michael addition of hydroxylamine derivative 15 to α,β-unsaturated ketone 13, followed by CBS catalyzed reduction, provided a mixture of cis-17 and trans-17, which were separated by column chromatography and further purified by chiral HPLC or SFC to provide the desired chiral 17a-c. - The Corey-Bakshi-Shibata Reduction (aka CBS reduction) or the Itsuno-Corey Reduction is a well-established and highly enantioselective ketone-reduction reaction. It was reported that the oxazaborolidine reagent mediates the reduction of ketone 16A to provide alcohol 17A in a high ee, where 17A and stereoisomer 17B were fully characterized (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 3526-3529; see
FIG. 3 ). We reduced 16a and 16b using CBS—BH3 SMe and obtained cis-17a or cis-17b (de>90%) and trans-17a or trans-17b (de ˜80%) from the reaction crudes, separately. Those mixed enantiomers were further purified by Chiral SFC to provide pure enantiomers (de>95%). We also tried alternative reduction conditions and reduced 16c using sodium borohydride to obtain cis-17c and trans-17c, after silica gel column chromatography. Each pair of separated isomers were further isolated by Chiral HPLC, respectively, to give 17c-P1, 17c-P2, 17c-P3, and 17c-P4 (all ee>99%). To determine the chiral centers for all four isomers, the N—O bond of each compound was cleaved using Mo(CO)6 to provide 17A or 17B, and their diastereoisomers 17A′ or 17B′, respectively. The chiral centers of compounds 17a-c were determined by comparing the 1H NMR data and optical rotation data for both 17A and 17B with the published data for the same compounds. - The synthesis of the O-intermediate and C-intermediate (II and III) are shown in
FIG. 4 . Compounds 19a-c were obtained from O-TBS protections of 17a-c, followed by Boc deprotections of 18a-c.

The triple bond in 19c can be reduced with palladium-carbon to provide 19f. Compounds 19a-e were treated with (2S,3S)-2-azido-3-methylpentanoyl chloride 22 to provide amides 23a-e, which then underwent Staudinger reductions in the presence of triphenyl phosphine, followed by amidations with N-methyl-2R-piperidinecarboxylic acid 25 to provide amides 26a-e. Compounds 26a-e were converted to intermediates IIa-e via TBS deprotections with cesium fluoride and subsequent basic hydrolyses. The triple bond in IIc can be reduced with palladium-carbon to provide IIf. Intermediates IIIa-f were obtained from acetylation of intermediates IIa-f. Intermediate IIIg was obtained from IIIe via a [3+2] cyclization with TMS-CH2N3, followed by TBS deprotection with cesium fluoride. - The synthesis for making C-tubulysin derivatives (IV) and O-tubulysin derivatives (V) are shown in
FIG. 5 . The C-tubulysin derivatives (IV) were synthesized according to the procedures reported in J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73 (12), 4362-4369. Shown inFIG. 5 , the esterification of intermediates IIId-e with pentafluorophenol (PFP) in the presence of N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) provided pentafluorophenyl esters 28a-e, which were treated with amines Ia-1 in amidations to give C-tubulysin payloads IVa-g and IVq-x, respectively, after additional deprotection of Fmoc or TMS (for TMS deprotection, seeFIG. 6A ). The O-tubulysin derivatives (V) were synthesized using the methods described above from IIIa-c and f, via an esterification with PFP in the presence of DIC, followed by an amidation with Ia-1. The O-tubulysin derivatives Vb, Ve, and Vh were obtained after additional deprotections of Fmoc. Hydrogenation of O-tubulysin derivative Vi with palladium-carbon provided aniline derivative Vj, which was further hydrogenated with heat to provide Vk. - The C-triazole tubulysin analogs (IVh and j-p) were prepared via two approaches shown in
FIG. 6A . In the first approach, the intermediate IIIe was treated with TMS-methyl azide in a [3+2] click reaction to form IIIgl, followed by TMS deprotection with cesium fluoride to provide IIIg2. Conversion of IIIg2 to the pentafluorophenyl ester 31 and subsequent amide coupling afforded IVh after Fmoc deprotection. In the second approach, the triazole tubulysin analogs IVj-p were made via [3+2] click reactions with intermediate Fmoc-IVd and different azido reagents (R5—N3), followed by Fmoc deprotections. - The synthesis for making O-tubulysin derivatives VIa-f,h is shown in
FIGS. 7A and 7B . Compound 27a was treated with bis(4-nitrophenyl) carbonate (NPC) to form an activated carbonate 33, which was then treated with primary amines to provide compounds 34a-e,F,H respectively. The carbamates VIa-f,h were obtained from amidation of compounds 34a-e,F,H with, for example, intermediate Ie, respectively. - The synthesis for making linker-tubulysin-payloads (LPs) is shown in
FIG. 8 for LP1,FIG. 9 for LP2, andFIG. 10A for LP3 and LP4,FIG. 10B for LP5. There are two approaches to make the linker-payloads. One way is to conjugate a linker with a payload exemplified in the synthesis of LP1 (FIG. 8 ); another way is to link a linker with a fragment of the payload, followed by an amide coupling to make a linker-payload exemplified in the synthesis of LP2 (FIG. 9 ). - Shown in
FIG. 8 , LP1 was synthesized from the reaction of IVa with hydrazine hydrate to give IVa′, followed by treating with MC-VC-PAB-PNP (L-1). - Shown in
FIG. 9 , LP2 was synthesized by first coupling VC-PAB with the hydrazide of intermediate Ie. In other words, the intermediate Ie was treated with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazide 35, which was treated with N-Fmoc-VC-PAB-PNP (L-2) to afford compound 37 after Boc deprotection using TFA. Amidation of 37 with intermediate IIIa provided compound 39 after deprotection of Fmoc; amidation of 39 with DIBAC-suc-PEG4-COOH (L-3) afforded LP2. - The key intermediates were analyzed on Chiral SFC under different column conditions where they all showed >99% ee and the detailed retention times (Rt) are summarized as follows in Table 3.

The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (twice). The combined organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude carbamate, which was dissolved in water and THF. To the solution was added lithium hydroxide hydrate (7-8 equiv.). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residual aqueous mixture was acidified with aq. citric acid solution (1 M) to pH 6.0. The mixture was extracted with DCM (3 times). The combined organic layers were concentrated and the residue was purified by RP chromatography (0-80% acetonitrile in water (with or without 0.01% TFA)) to give compound 34a-e,F,H as a white solid.

The resulting solution was allowed to warm to rt and stirred for 16 hours, and was monitored by LCMS. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was suspended in ethyl acetate. The solids were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in dry DMF (15-20 mg/mL) and to the solution were added DIPEA (3.0 equiv.) and intermediate Ie or Ic (1.0 equiv.) in succession. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight, and monitored by LCMS. The reaction mixture was directly purified by Prep-HPLC (ammonium bicarbonate system) to give VIa-e or Fmoc-VIf,h as a white solid. The compound Fmoc-VIf,h (1 equiv.) was dissolved into DMF (0.15 mL per mg of Fmoc-VIf,h).

- The non-site-specific conjugations of maleimide-spacer-payloads to an antibody are outlined in
FIG. 13 , and the site-specific conjugations of DIBAC-spacer-payloads to the azido-functionalized antibody via [3+2] click reaction are outlined inFIG. 14 . - This example demonstrates a method for conjugation of a maleimide-spacer-payload to inter-chain cysteines of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment via the formation of a thioether bond. This example refers the compounds depicted in
FIG. 13 . - Conjugation through antibody cysteines was performed in two steps using methods similar to those for making Adcetris®-like ADCs (See, Mol. Pharm. 2015, 12(6), 1863-71). A monoclonal antibody (mAb) (10 mg/mL in 50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl) at pH 7-8 was reduced with 1 mM dithiothreitol (6 molar equiv. of antibody) or TCEP (2.5 molar equivalents to antibody) at 37° C. for 30 min. After gel filtration (G-25, pH 6.3, sodium acetate), compound LP1 at 1-10 mg/mL in DMSO was added to the reduced antibody, and the reaction was allowed to stir for 3-14 h at rt. The resulting mixture was purified by SEC to generate pure ADC.
- This example demonstrates a method for site-specific conjugation of a cyclooctyne-linker-payload to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. This example refers to the compounds depicted in
FIG. 14 . - In this example, the site-specific conjugates were produced in two steps. The first step was microbial transglutaminase (MTG) based enzymatic attachment of a small molecule, such as an azido-PEG3-amine, to the antibody having N297Q mutation (hereinafter “MTG-based” conjugation). The second step employed the attachment of a cyclooctyne-spacer-payload to the azido-functionalized antibody via a [2+3]cycloaddition, for example, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between an azide and a cyclooctyne (aka copper-free click chemistry). See, Baskin, J. M.; Prescher, J. A.; Laughlin, S. T.; Agard, N. J.; Chang, P. V.; Miller, I. A.; Lo, A.; Codelli, J. A.; Bertozzi, C. R. PNAS 2007, 104 (43), 16793-7. Shown in
FIG. 14 is an example of a linker-spacer-payload having a DIBAC moiety conjugated with an azido-functionalized antibody via a [2+3] cycloaddition. This process provided site-specific and stoichiometric conjugates in about 50-80% isolated yield. - Aglycosylated human antibody IgG (IgG1, IgG4, etc.) or a human IgG1 isotype with a N297Q mutation, in PBS (pH 6.5-8.0) was mixed with >200 molar equivalents of azido-PEG3-amine (MW=218.26 g/mol). The resulting solution was mixed with MTG (EC 2.3.2.13 from Zedira, Darmstadt, Germany, or ACTIVA TI which contains Maltodextrin from Ajinomoto, Japan) (25 U/mL; 5U MTG per mg of antibody) resulting in a final concentration of 0.5-5 mg/mL antibody, and the solution was then incubated at 37° C. for 4-24 h while gently shaking. The reaction was monitored by ESI-MS. Upon reaction completion, the excess amine and MTG were removed by SEC or protein A column chromatography, to generate the azido-functionalized antibody. This product was characterized by SDS-PAGE and.
- In a specific experiment, the N297Q antibody (24 mg) in 7 mL potassium-free PBS buffer (pH 7.3) was incubated with >200 molar equivalents of the azido-PEG3-amine (MW=218.26) in the presence of MTG (0.350 mL, 35 U, mTGase, Zedira, Darmstadt, Germany). The reaction was incubated at 37° C. overnight while gently mixing. Excess azido-PEG3-amine and mTGase were removed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC,
Superdex 200 PG, GE Healthcare). - Step 2: Preparation of site-specific conjugates by a [2+3] click reaction between the azido-functionalized glutaminyl-modified antibodies (IgG1, IgG4, etc.) and cyclooctyne containing linker-payload (LPs) in Table 7. In general, an azido-functionalized aglycosylated antibody-LP conjugate was prepared by incubating the azido-functionalized glutaminyl-modified antibody (1 mg) in 1 mL of an aqueous medium (e.g., PBS, PBS containing 5% glycerol, HBS) with >6 molar equivalents of LP dissolved in a suitable organic solvent (e.g., DMSO, DMF or DMA; reaction mixture contains 10-20% organic solvent, v/v) at 24° C. to 32° C. for over 3 hours. The progress of the reaction was monitored by ESI-MS. Absence of azido-functionalized antibody (mAb-PEG3-N3) indicated completion of the conjugation. The excess linker-payload (LP) and organic solvent were removed by SEC (Waters,
Superdex 200 Increase, 1.0×30 cm, GE Healthcare, flow rate 0.8 mg/mL, PBS, pH 7.2) eluting with PBS, or via protein A column chromatography via elution with acidic buffer followed by neutralization with Tris (pH 8.0). The purified conjugate was analyzed by SEC, SDS-PAGE, and ESI-MS. - In a specific example, the azido-functionalized antibody (1 mg) in 0.800 mL PBSg (PBS, 5% glycerol, pH 7.4) was treated with six equivalents of DIBAC-Suc-PEG4-VC-PABC-payload (conc. 10 mg/mL in DMSO) for 6 hours at rt and the excess linker payload (LP) was removed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC,
Superdex 200 HR, GE Healthcare). The final product was concentrated by ultra-centrifugation and characterized by UV, SEC, SDS-PAGE and/or ESI-MS. - Summarized in Table 7 are LPs, naked antibodies (anti-PRLR Ab, Anti-Fel D1 Ab, and Anti-STEAP2 Ab), PEG3-N3 functionalized antibodies (Anti-PRLR N297Q Ab-PEG3-N3, Anti-FelD1 N297Q Ab-PEG3-N3, and Anti-STEAP2 N297Q Ab-PEG3-N3), and their corresponding ADCs. In Table 7, Ab refers to an antibody and Ab-PEG3-N3 refers to an azido-functionalized antibody with a PEG3 spacer. The anti-PRLR antibodies had HCVR and LCVR according to SEQ ID NOS:9 and 13 (H1H6958N2 above). The anti-STEAP2 antibodies had HCVR and LCVR according to SEQ ID NOS:1 and 5 (H1H7814N, above).

FIG. 15 ), ESI-MS, and SDS-PAGE. - Analytical SEC experiments were run using a
Waters 1515 instrument, on aSuperdex™ 200 Increase (1.0×30 cm) column, at flow rate of 0.80 mL/min using PBS pH 7.2, and monitored at X=280 nm using a Waters 2998 PDA. An analytic sample was composed of 200 μL PBS (pH 7.4) with 30-100 μL of test sample. Preparative SEC purifications were performed using an AKTA Avant instrument from GE Healthcare, onSuperdex 200 PG (2.6×60 cm) column, at aflow rate 2 mL/min eluting with PBS pH 7.2, and monitored at X=280 nm. The SEC results inFIG. 15 indicate typical retention times for monomeric mAb and conjugates thereof, with minimal aggregation or degradation. - Measurement of intact mass for the ADC samples by LC-ESI-MS was performed to determine drug-payload distribution profiles and to calculate the average DAR. Each testing sample (20-50 ng, 5 μL) was loaded onto an Acquity UPLC Protein BEH C4 column (10K psi, 300 Å, 1.7 μm, 75 μm x 100 mm; Cat No. 186003810). After desalting for 3 min, the protein was eluted and mass spectra were acquired by a Waters Synapt G2-Si mass spectrometer. As summarized in Table 7, most site-specific ADCs have near 4DAR.
- SDS-PAGE was used to analyze the integrity and purity of the ADCs. In one method, SDS-PAGE conditions included non-reduced and reduced samples (2-4 μg) along with BenchMark Pre-Stained Protein Ladder (Invitrogen, cat #10748-010; L #1671922.) were loaded per lane in (1.0 mm×10 well) Novex 4-20% Tris-Glycine Gel and were ran at 180 V, 300 mA, for 80 min. An analytical sample was prepared using Novex Tris-Glycine SDS buffer (2×) (Invitrogen, cat # LC2676) and the reduced sample was prepared with SDS sample buffer (2×) containing 10% 2-mercaptoethanol.
- To determine the plasma stability of representative ADCs containing the tubulysin payloads, ADCs were incubated in vitro with plasma from different species, and the DAR was evaluated after incubation at physiological temperature (37° C.) for 3 days.
- For the assay, each ADC sample (anti-PRLR antibody-LP3 or anti-PRLR antibody-LP4) in PBS buffer was added to fresh pooled male mouse, cynomologus monkey, rat, or human plasma, separately, at a final concentration of 50 μg/mL in a 96-well plate, and subsequently incubated at 37° C. for 72 hours. After incubation, each sample (100 μL final volume) was individually frozen at −80 OC until analysis.
- Affinity capture of the ADCs from the plasma samples was carried out on a KingFisher 96 magnetic particle processor (Thermo Electron). First, biotinylated extracellular domain of human PRLR expressed with a myc-myc hexahistidine tag (hPRLR ecto-MMH; SEQ ID NO: 17; 100 μg/mL) was immobilized on streptavidin paramagnetic beads (In vitrogen, Cat #60210). Each plasma sample containing tubulysin ADCs (100 μL) was mixed at 600 rpm with 100 μL of the beads (the commercial beads come in volume) at room temperature for 2 hours in a 96-well plate. The beads were then washed three times with 600 μL of HBS-EP (GE healthcare, Cat # BR100188), once with 600 μL of H2O, and then once with 600 μL of 10% acetonitrile in water. Following the washes, tubulysin ADCs were eluted by incubating the beads with 70 μL of 1% formic acid in 30% acetonitrile/70% water for 15 minutes at room temperature. Each eluate sample was then transferred into a v-bottom 96-well plate and was then reduced with 5 mM TCEP (Thermo Fisher, Cat #77720) at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- The reduced tubulysin ADC samples (10 μL/sample) were injected onto a 1.7 μm BEH300 C4 column (Waters Corporation, Cat #186005589) coupled to a Waters Synapt G2-Si Mass Spectrometer. The flow rate was 0.1 mL/min (mobile phase A: 0.1% formic acid in water; mobile phase B: 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile). The LC gradient started with 20% B and increased to 35% B in 16 minutes, then reached 95% B in 1 minute.
- The acquired spectra were deconvoluted using MaxEntl software (Waters Corporation) with the following parameters: Mass range: 20-30 kDa for the light chain, and 40-60 kDa for the heavy chain; m/z range: 700 Da-3000 Da; Resolution: 1.0 Da/channel; Width at half height: 1.0 Da; Minimum intensity ratios: 33%; Iteration max: 25.
- There was not any significant loss of linker-payloads observed from the tested ADCs after 72-hour incubation with human, mouse, rat, and cynomolgus monkey plasma. However, it has been reported that the acetyl group of tubulysin payloads can be hydrolyzed to a hydroxyl group (−43 Da) with significant loss of toxicity. Therefore, the hydrolyzed species observed in the LC-MS was considered as loss of drug. Drug/antibody ratio (DAR), as shown in Table 8, was calculated based on the relative abundance of different species of heavy chains as described below:

In vitro cytotoxicity of the disclosed payloads, as well as reference compounds, were evaluated using the CellTiter-Glo Assay Kit (Promega, Cat # G7573), in which the quantity of ATP present is used to determine the number of viable cells in culture. For the assay, C4-2, HEK293, or T47D cells were seeded at 4000 cells/well on Nunclon white 96-well plates in complete growth medium (DME high glucose:Ham's F12 at 4:1, 10% FBS, 100 units/ml Penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin, 53 ug/ml glutatmine, 10 ug/ml insulin, 220 ng/ml biotin, 12.5 pg/ml T3, 12.5 ug/ml Adenine, 4 ug/ml transferrin for C42 cells; DME high glucose, 10% FBS, 100 units/ml Penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin, 53 ug/ml glutatmine for HEK293; RPMI, 10% FBS, 100 units/ml Penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin, 53 ug/ml glutatmine, 10 ug/ml insulin, 10 mM HEPEs, 200 nM Sodium Pyruvate for T47D cells) and grown overnight at 37° C. in 5% CO2. For cell viability curves, 1:3 serially diluted payloads were added to the cells at final concentrations ranging from 100 nM to 15 pM, including a no treatment control group, and were then incubated for 5 days. After the 5-day incubation, cells were incubated at room temperature with 100 μL of CellTiter-Glo reagents for 10 minutes. Relative luminescence units (RLU) were determined on a Victor plate reader (PerkinElmer). The IC50 values were determined from a four-parameter logistic equation over a 10-point response curve (GraphPad Prism). All IC50 values are expressed in molar (M) concentration. The percent cell killing (% kill) at the maximum concentration tested was estimated from the following formula (100−% viable cells). Averages ±standard deviation (SD) are included where replicate experiments were performed.
- As shown in Table 9, payloads herein demonstrated killing of C4-2 cells with IC50 values between 16.4 pM and >100 nM, and maximum % cell killing between 8.9% and 96.7%. A subset of disclosed payloads that were tested demonstrated killing on HEK293 cells with IC50 values between 57.2 pM and >100 nM, and maximum % cell killing between 4.7% and 88.5%. A subset of disclosed payloads that were tested demonstrated killing on T47D cells with IC50 values between 35 pM and >100 nM, and maximum % cell killing between 14.6% and 84.5%.

In vitro cytotoxicity of the disclosed payloads as well as reference compounds were evaluated similarly as described above except using 1000 HCT15 cells, a colorectal carcinoma cell line, in growth medium (RPMI, 10% FBS, 100 units/ml Penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin, 53 ug/ml glutatmine) with or without 5 ug/mL of Verapamil.
- As shown in Table 10, in the absence of Verapamil, payloads of the disclosure demonstrated killing of HCT15 cells with IC50 values between 20 pM and >100 nM, and maximum % cell killing between -3.8 and 99.7%. In the presence of Verapamil, payloads of the disclosure demonstrated killing of HCT15 cells with IC50 values between 15 pM and >100 nM, and maximum % cell killing between -0.4% and 99.1%. For each payload, the HCT-15 IC50 in the absence of Verapamil was divided by the HCT-15 IC50 in the presence of Verapamil (HCT-15 IC50/HCT-15+Verapamil IC50). Several payloads had ratios <2.0 suggesting that these payloads are minimally impacted by multi-drug efflux pumps. The reference compound, M4 (MMAE), had a ratio of 23.7.

It was developed to assess the activity of tubulysin payloads after internalization of an anti-PRLR-tubulysin ADC into cells, release of the payload, and subsequent cytotoxicity. For this assay, a HCT15 line was engineered to express human full length PRLR (accession # NP_000940.1). The resulting stable cell line is referred to herein as HCT15/PRLR. In vitro cytotoxicity of the disclosed payloads, reference compounds, and tested ADCs were evaluated similarly as described in this example using HCT15/PRLR cells with or without 5 μg/mL of Verapamil diluted in normal culture medium. The compounds were tested at concentrations starting at 100 nM with 3-fold serial dilution. All IC50 values are expressed in nM concentration and the percent cell killing (% kill) at the maximum concentration tested was estimated from the following formula (100−% viable cells). These data were reported in Table 13.
- As shown in Table 13, in the absence of Verapamil, anti-PRLR ADCs conjugated with disclosed linker-payloads, anti-PRLR-LP3, and anti-PRLR-LP4, demonstrated cytotoxicity in a HCT15/PRLR cell based assay at an IC50 value of 0.525 nM, with maximum percent killing of 90%; and at an IC50 value of 3.31 nM, with maximum percent killing of 65%, respectively. Under these conditions, one isotype control ADC, Isotype control-LP3, demonstrated some modest killing of HCT15/PRLR cells with a maximum percent killing of 51%, but the IC50 value was >50 nM. In the absence of Verapamil, another isotype control, Isotype control-LP4 did not demonstrate any significant killing of HCT15/PRLR cells. Under these conditions, the free payloads of the invention, IVd and Ve, demonstrated killing of HCT15/PRLR cells with IC50 values of 0.037 nM and 0.203 nM, and maximum percent killing of 99% and 99%, respectively.
- In the presence of Verapamil, anti-PRLR ADCs conjugated with linker payloads of the invention, anti-PRLR-LP3 and anti-PRLR-LP4, demonstrated cytotoxicity in HCT15/PRLR cell-based assay at an IC50 value of 0.309 nM, with maximum percent killing of 91%; and at an IC50 value of 0.196 nM, with maximum percent killing of 91%, respectively. Under these conditions, two Isotype control ADCs, Isotype control-LP3 and Isotype control-LP4, demonstrated killing of HCT15/PRLR cells with an IC50 value greater than 50 nM, and a maximum percent killing of 82%; and an IC50 value greater than 50 nM, and a maximum percent killing of 76%, respectively. Under these conditions, the disclosed free payloads, IVd and Ve, demonstrated killing of HCT15/PRLR cells with IC50 values of 0.015 nM and 0.033 nM, and maximum percent killing of 99% and 99%, respectively. The unconjugated anti-PRLR antibody did not demonstrate any killing of HCT15/PRLR cells in the presence or absence of Verapamil.

For these studies, anti-STEAP2 antibodies were conjugated to select tubulysins payloads, and the compounds were tested at concentrations starting at 100 nM with 3-fold serial dilution. All IC50 values are expressed in nM concentration and the percent cell killing at the maximum concentration tested was estimated from the following formula (100−% viable cells). These data were reported in Table 14.
- As shown in Table 14, anti-STEAP2 ADCs conjugated with disclosed linker-payloads, anti-STEAP2-LP3, anti-STEAP2-LP4, and anti-STEAP2-LP5 demonstrated cytotoxicity in the C4-2 cell based assay at an IC50 value of 0.097 nM, with maximum percent killing of 99%; an IC50 value of 0.15 nM, with maximum percent killing of 99%; and an IC50 of 0.28 nM with maximum percent killing of 96%, respectively. The reference ADC, anti-STEAP2-MMAE demonstrated cytotoxicity in the C4-2 cell-based assay with an IC50 value of 0.53 nM, with maximum percent killing of 99%. All three isotype controls, Isotype control-LP3, Isotype control-LP4, and Isotype control-MMAE, demonstrated some modest killing of C4-2 cells at only the highest tested concentrations with a maximum percent killing of 16%-48%, but an IC50 value >100 nM. Under these conditions, IVd (free payload of LP3) and Ve (payload of LP4), demonstrated killing of C4-2 cells with IC50 values of 0.022 nM and 0.063 nM, and both showed maximum percent killing of 99%. Free reference payload MMAE demonstrated killing of C4-2 cells with IC50 value of 0.22 nM, and maximum percent killing of 99%. The unconjugated anti-STEAP2 antibody did not demonstrate any killing of C4-2 cells.

- For the assay, 7.5×106 C4-2 cells (ATCC, Cat # CRL-3314), which endogenously express STEAP2, were suspended in Matrigel (BD Biosciences, Cat #354234) and implanted subcutaneously into the left flank of male CB17 SCID mice (Taconic, Hudson N.Y.). Once tumors had reached an average volume of 220 mm3 (around Day 15), mice were randomized into groups of 7 and given a single dose of either anti-STEAP2 conjugated antibodies (anti-STEAP2-LP3, anti-STEAP2-LP4, anti-STEAP2-MMAE), isotype control conjugated antibody, or vehicle at 2.5 mg/kg via tail vein injection. Tumors were measured with calipers twice a week until the average size of the vehicle group reached 1500 mm3. Tumor size was calculated using the formula (length×width2)/2 and the average tumor size+/−SEM was then calculated. Tumor growth inhibition was calculated according to the following formula: (1−((Tfinal−Tinitial)/(Cfinal−Cinitial)))*100, where treated group (T) and control group (C) represent the mean tumor mass on the day the vehicle group reached 1500 mm3.
- In this study, anti-STEAP2 antibody conjugated to MMAE was compared to anti-STEAP2 antibody conjugated to tubulysin linker-payloads (anti-STEAP2-LP3 and anti-STEAP2-LP4) for their ability to reduce C4-2 tumor size. As summarized in Table 15, treatment with anti-STEAP2-MMAE reference ADC resulted in an average of 81% tumor growth inhibition at the completion of the study. In comparison, treatment with anti-STEAP2-LP3 and Anti-STEAP2-LP4 ADCs demonstrated an average of 108% and 97% reduction in tumor growth, respectively. Treatment with the isotype control ADCs led to an average of 31-33% reduction in tumor growth. The anti-STEAP2 antibodies comprised N297Q mutations.
